The stock hard plastics ones are difficult to get onto both ends I can only find stockists from America, is there any place in Australia that has silicon ones? Or does anyone have any tips for putting them on easier?
Just push harder, they'll go. If they're sticking on the pipes use a little WD40 or something to help them slide on.
It's the hard plastic ones, I guess It'll take some more elbow grease to do, I think I've got some silicone spray somewhere.
If you don't have tradesman's hands gloves help too. For the drivers side one there's a bit of twisting and bending involved in getting it into place.
